The Cook County’s Department of Environment and Sustainability is providing the funding to Lynwood, Markham, Justice, Bellwood and Franklin Park.Between April and May, suburban municipalities were able to submit plans for how they would use funding to increase their ability to respond and protect against possible weather disasters. There were 26 applications and the five were chosen after interviews.
Lynwood Mayor Jada Curry helped secure funding for her town by explaining her town’s need to better pump a pond that often overflows during severe rains. Communities were only eligible if they did not have an existing Climate Resiliency Plan or if their plan had not been updated in the past six years, according to a news release from the county.
